Plum spirits have a long tradition in Far East Asiat— usually in the form of low-proof sweet and sour "wine" that goes exceptionally well with Chinese, Korean, and Japanese cuisines. Next time you're out, try a glass of Xiangtoupai (NB: this is the best any search engine could do), Maesil-ju, or Umeshu. Eigashima's Plum Whisky is another level of the plum experience. Made in Akashi, Japan, Ume is a complex and savory integration of green plums macerated in Akashi's white oak-aged whisky and sweetened with just a tiny bit of rock sugar for a delectable sipping experience. Notes of ripe stone fruit, honey, Mirabelle, apricot, and peach kernel. Serve neat, on the rocks, with club soda, or add to your favorite whisky cocktails as a twist. 61 proof.
